The packages for debian are built often and til yet no problem with bugs
or "broken packages", mostly missing dependency or dependency on old stable.

Lets see if it helps.
As I found today, some small steps are integrated into the packages,
e.g. apache2 config. Thats fine.

NO way to change back from debian to SUSE ;-)
I know "my debian" and doesn't want to learn another distribution (of
which I don't get enough support and help from local ppl).
Right now I added the "old stable" sarge repository into sources and
install old versions of apache2 and libpq3. Lets see if it works.
But its kinda sad, sarge is nearly one year out of date (although still
working).
